Structure and Measurement Invariance of Ethnic Identity for Native American College Students.

With a specific focus on the Native American population, the current study investigated the structure of ethnic identity, measured by the Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure, using a bifactor model across Native American ( = 307), Asian ( = 348), and White ( = 549) undergraduate students. We further investigated measurement invariance across ethnic groups that shared the same factor structure. The results indicated that ethnic identity can be modeled by a bifactor structure with a general factor and two group factors, affective pride and exploration, for Native American and Asian respondents but not White respondents.

What free time? A daily study of work recovery and well-being among working students.

Working students face incredible demands on their time and resources, yet little research exists assessing the degree to which they are able to recover from their demands. The current study aimed to determine the extent to which different types of psychological detachment-detachment from work as well as detachment from school-contribute to the well-being of working students, and whether work can serve as an opportunity to recover from school and vice versa. An additional focus of the study was how perceived stress interacts with detachment both from school and from work to impact well-being.

Math Self-Efficacy and STEM Intentions: A Person-Centered Approach.

Research pertaining to STEM interest and persistence continues to be a top priority in the educational research arena. The current study employed a person-centered approach to examine the impact of math self-efficacy and various distal predictors, such as individuals' demographic information, beliefs about math, and social group identification, on STEM interest and intentions. Specifically, we conducted a latent profile analysis (LPA), thereby inferring three homogeneous subgroups of individuals or latent classes from their response patterns on the 18-item sources of math self-efficacy measure.

The relationship between sleep and work: A meta-analysis.

Sleep has tremendous importance to organizations because of its relationship with employee performance, safety, health, and attitudes. Moreover, sleep is a malleable behavior that may be improved by individual and organizational changes. Despite the consequential and modifiable nature of sleep, little consensus exists regarding its conceptualization, and how the choice of conceptualization may impact relationships with organizational antecedents and outcomes.

Promoting retention of nurses: A meta-analytic examination of causes of nurse turnover.

Background: Because the health care field is expected to be the fastest growing job field until 2020, an urgent need to focus on nurse retention exists.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine the relationships between predictors of turnover (i.e.

Safety performance: the mediating role of safety control.

Objective: Occupational stress models suggest that the ability to understand, predict, and control stressful events minimizes their impact. This study examines the applicability of the stress antidote theory to the safety environment. Newly developed measures assess understanding why and how unsafe events occur, predicting the occurrence of unsafe events, and controlling unsafe events, and how these constructs relate to safety performance at work.

Occupational safety: application of the job demand-control-support model.

The utility of the job demand-control-support (JDCS) model for explaining psychological and physical well-being has been documented in a variety of settings. The current study's purpose was to assess the effectiveness of the JDCS model for predicting occupational safety well-being criteria (i.e.

The underreporting gap in aggressive incidents from geriatric patients against certified nursing assistants.

Staff in the health care industry experience workplace aggression at a much higher rate than the general workforce. However, a large proportion of aggressive incidents go unreported, and the source of many of these incidents is patients. This study investigates aggressive incidents from patients against certified nursing assistants (CNAs; n = 76) in a sample of six geriatric care facilities.
